We offer two types of trailer hitch for use on the back of a trailer, bumper-mount and frame-mount. A bumper-mount hitch like Ultra-Fab # UF35-946402 bolts on to your 4 x 4-inch continuously-welded bumper with included U-bolt hardware and provides a 2-inch receiver opening for use with accessory items like a bike rack or for light towing. An example of a frame-mount hitch is Curt's Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch # C13701 that fits to trailer frame widths from 18- to 51-inches. All such items can be seen on the link provided.

Before installing any hitch on your trailer you want to check the owner's manual for any guidance regarding such modifications. If in doubt you can contact the manufacturer with your trailer's VIN number and they can then advise you about what is the best option for your particular trailer. You will also need to know the combined weight of your trailer and golf cart in order to select a hitch with the necessary capacity.

Please note that tandem towing - pulling a trailer with a trailer - is illegal in most states and provinces and is a practice we do not recommend.
